Promised Neverland heats up as we finally get a answer on Minerva.

The first half of the book is a lot of set up. We find out who Minerva is and the plan to escape. We find out a certain someone might not be dead. We find out what they use some of the kids for. But the best part of this volume is the second half. Emma has been a godsend for the Pond kids as they now know how to kill these piece of shit demons. But knowing how to kill and doing it are two very different things. Together, the kids must find tactics to take them all out before it is too late.

Overall, this is fantastic second half and a strong first half to make this one of the best volumes yet. I especially love the tactics used here and the brutal take-downs. It always feels nice to see the good guys win a little bit. Sure, the opening is pretty exposition heavy but least it is pretty interesting overall.

A great volume. Really digging where we're going in this series. A 4.5 out of 5.
